Data Sheet
| Amino acid sequence | IELRCRCTNT LSGIPLNSIS RVNVFRPGAH CDNVEVIATL KNGKEVCLDP TAPMIKKIVK KI. |
| Biological Activity | Measured by its ability to chemoattract BaF3 mouse pro-B cells transfected with human CXCR2. The ED50 for this effect is less than 10ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 100,000units/mg. |
| Description | NAP-2 Rat Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 62 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 6.8kDa.The NAP 2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | NAP-2 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in 1PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Protein Background | Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL7) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It is a protein that is released in large amounts from platelets following their activation. It stimulates various processes including mitogenesis, synthesis of extracellular matrix, glucose metabolism and synthesis of plasminogen activator. |
| Purity | Greater than 97.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NAP-2 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability | Lyophilized NAP-2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CXCL7 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
